Descripción
We report the discovery of a bright (f(250 μm)>400 mJy), multiply
lensed submillimeter galaxy HERMES J105751.1+573027 in Herschel/SPIRE
Science Demonstration Phase data from the HerMES project.
Interferometric 880 μm Submillimeter Array observations resolve at
least four images with a large separation of ~9''. A high-resolution
adaptive optics Kp image with Keck/NIRC2 clearly shows strong
lensing arcs. Follow-up spectroscopy gives a redshift of z = 2.9575, and
the lensing model gives a total magnification of μ ~ 11 ± 1.
The large image separation allows us to study the multi-wavelength
spectral energy distribution (SED) of the lensed source unobscured by
the central lensing mass. The far-IR/millimeter-wave SED is well
described by a modified blackbody fit with an unusually warm dust
temperature, 88 ± 3 K. We derive a lensing-corrected total IR
luminosity of (1.43 ± 0.09) × 1013 L
sun, implying a star formation rate of ~2500 M sun
yr-1. However, models primarily developed from brighter
galaxies selected at longer wavelengths are a poor fit to the full
optical-to-millimeter SED. A number of other strongly lensed systems
have already been discovered in early Herschel data, and many more are
expected as additional data are collected.
Herschel is an ESA space observatory with science instruments provided
by European-led principal Investigator consortia and with important
participation from NASA.
